Thank you everyone for this thread. I've really learned a lot!
A quilting friend of mine told me not to buy anything until she had a chance to look through her "toys". Evidently she has some things she doesn't use. So I am waiting for her until I make a purchase. But I've been looking pretty hard at the lap hoop with quilt stand that was linked to this thread earlier and a small PVC lap frame.
We shall see. Thank you #1 Piecemaker for the specific directions. Now I can envision it in my head.
I'll let you know (maybe with pics) what I end up doing.
Thanks again!!
Melissa
